Where abouts in canada? I'm in Red Deer and ended up getting one from a dealer in washington. Find a good shipping company and a good dealer that will help out and really make sure all the paper work is in order, otherwise it is a headache. For shipping I recomend ABF, I talked to the guys in the Edmonton office and got a shipping qoute and got it faxed to me, and I'm glad I did. When I actually went to pick the ski up, the shipping just about doubled! I showed them the qoute and they had no problem honouring it. Plus they really helped with all the inspection crap.
I do know that buying new is alot easier then used. Their is alot more hassle with getting a used one across the border and you have to get a really good seller that will jump through some hoops to help you. The border service can be a real pain in the ass.
Also have fun getting parts in canada, you walk into any yamaha dealer and ask them about superjets and you get a really funny look.

No problem getting any parts from dealers here in Winnipeg. What year are you looking for? If you look in the Buy & Sell or Autotrader there is always a dealer in Vancouver selling one. I have one that is really modified that I don't use. I am thinking of selling it.
im looking for a stock 08... something new like you said...
my reason for stock is im a new rider for standups and dont know if im at all ready for a crazyer one.

If you hang around here long enough you won't leave it stock for long.
If I were you I would fly to an area in the USA where the economy is not doing that well and buy a new SJ and a Diesel truck. Sell the truck to someone who works on the oil patch and you will have half of your SJ paid for.

Buy a used one, there is no need to pay 08 prices when your new to the sport.
I drove to MI to get a clean 02 RN, stock was $3000.
Buy one off this site at some point and a good seller will ship it to you. You'll have to pay duty and tax, but its no big deal.
RN's last a couple days when listed in Canada for sale, I gave up after a couple months and got one cheaper in the states anyways.
Parts, OEM Yami is no problem but only go to the dealer for gaskets, and small miscellaneon pieces.
If you want a pipe or aftermarket parts, get them shipped to you USPS, cheapest way and you don't get boned with duty or gst nearly as bad.

It's a 4mm stroker with 84mm pistons. It has Northwest sleeves so you can go up to 86.5mm. There is only about six hours on the engine. I should put together a list of the new parts on it one day. I would like to think it's worth $6,000.00, but I don't know if I would even sell it for that. I am losing interest in it, but I don't need to sell it.

As far as I know Yamaha has not imported the superjet into Canada in almost ten years.

thats a pretty fair price especially for up here...if I where him I would seriously consider it.
if u were me? lol wha...?

yes, if I where you I would seriously consider this before buying an 08...this is a much better bang for the buck. You would probably spend more than twice that trying to get an 08 to perform close to this.

Previous post is correct; Yamaha Canada has not imported new SJ's into Canada for @ 10 yrs now. The only way to get one is to import one yourself from the US, or to buy a used one. I have come across a few SN SJ's in western Canada every now and then; RN ones are harder to come by. I just purchased a brand new SXR800 and have not decided if I want to sell my limited 02 RN (Vancouver).

I am in halifax and got my square from a guy here who had three. It is easy to pick one up in the states and bring it across the border (i got my zxi 1100 in buffalo). Just look up the process and have the docs needed (like recall info, safety info). Trailers can be alot more of a pain (have to get safety checks and registrations, pay a ~$175 import fee). Declare it as parts or repair, and pay the gst. There is no import tax on things without wheels (skidoos+skis) just tax on the sales recipt.
As for parts they are easy to get, dealer, ebay, forums. It is service that can be difficult (there is no one that can work on my zxi electronics, yamaha techs dont see many sj's) But superjets are realitively simple to work on, and the guys online have done everything with them and are a very helfull bunch. If I was you I would drive down to the states and pick one up for 1500-2500. As a newbie a high compression stroker motor may be more than you want to start. Anywhere across the border you could easily get a square with a 701/head/pipe/prop for under $3000, and would have a better than stock boat for 1/3 the price of a new o8 sj
